Good to see you again! The BBQ place sounds wonderful. We have a little local place we go to that I love. Just thinking about it makes me hungry ;). I love $ tree. I get all my tissue paper there & treats for my kids. There book selection is amazing. New books too! I am going to check out those containers. I just bought my mom a small fruitcake & chocolate covered thin mints. Am mailing her a little package Saturday. Got them 50% off. On, my classroom assistant got me the most beautiful hand fan from $ tree. Happy New Year!

Actually that Jack Daniels pulled pork you get at the grocery is excellent, OTT, slow cook over coals for 18 hours.

I just made pulled pork and found a great recipe too. But it will have to wait until after the debate!

We just went to a popular BBQ place (Hog N The Road, Grove City, MN). Don’t know how much to expect from a place in Minnesota, but they have their own smoker and you can’t get in without a reservation.

We were somewhat disappointed, my husband had the pulled pork and he said mine was better. I don’t even make my own sauce, just find one without corn syrup.

Pulled Pork:
Coarsly chop a half bulb of garlic - really :-)
Put some in the bottom of slow cooker
Add pork and cover with rest of garlic.
Cook on low for 10-12 hours
Remove from cooker, shred and place in a 9x13 pan
Mix in sauce
Broil until hot and the sauce is just a bit carmelized, but not too dry

Our favorite pulled pork recipe is from Pioneer Woman

I’ve done this several times. I like to actually make it at least a day before and store the shredded meat separate from the juices. That way, the fat solidifies on top of the juice and I can take all the fat off the juice before I mix the meat back in and heat it up. Personally, I like it better not swimming in fat.

I’ve brought this to picnics and potluck and pot lucks and it’s always a hit. It’s not a spicy as you might think as the soda tempers the spice quite nicely. And people have commented that it was nice and moist, but not fatty.


Spicy Pop Pulled Pork

Ingredients

2 onions, peeled and quartered
1 whole pork butt ( pork shoulder roast)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 11-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cans pop (I use Dr Pepper)
4 packed tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Start by placing the onion quarters in the bottom of a pot. Sprinkle the pork with salt and pepper, and then place on top of the onions. Pour the chipotle peppers over the top, and then crack open the cans of pop and pour them over the whole thing. Add the brown sugar to the liquid and stir.

Cover the pot, put in the oven and cook for at least 6 hours, flipping the roast 2 or 3 times during the cooking process. When it’s done, the pork will be dark and weird and wonderful. It’ll also be fork-tender. That’s when you know it’s done.

Remove the meat from the pot and shred completely. Then return the meat to the pot and keep in the juice until you need it. Divine!

Could you add me to your ping list? I’m trying to feed an army over here and get sick of the same thing over and over. Too tired to be creative! Thanks!
